Chapter 42: Tell the Truth
Chapter 42 Tell the truth
The birthday party of the old lady of the Wen family was held very lively.
Xue Mei held her cat and returned to the yard where the banquet was held. She listened to the gongs and drums and music in her ears, and people laughed and laughed from time to time, and she was distracted.
"How to get my betrothal gift?" Xue Mei thought.
Her dowry will definitely be very bad.
The money given by the Wen family has probably been in the pockets of the old lady and the third lady in Yongning Hou.
Did they marry her to the Wen family just for money?
It's not easy to get so much money back, after all, all the money may have been spent.
The servants of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion have countless servants and maintained a luxurious life that does not belong to them at all. The money has already been invested in turn. If it is to get back the money and delay her quit her quit her marriage, it will be more than worth the loss.
"I'd better pay for my own money to quit the marriage first, and then slowly fight with the people from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion to make up for my losses as much as possible." Xue Mei made a plan.
Retirement of the marriage is divided into two steps: First, get the money and return it to the Wen family. No matter how the wife of the Wen family and Wen Zhao don’t give her face, she doesn’t want to take advantage of the Wen family, and the betrothal gift is still to be refunded.
Even if she really doesn't want to withdraw, the Wen family sued the government and the money would be refunded.
Second, install prosthetics for the elder brother so that he can walk like a normal person. He will come forward to write a document to withdraw from Xue Mei, or he will force Yongning Hou to withdraw from Xue Mei.
The money has to be made from Prince Ancheng; she has the prosthetic limbs in her space, but the eldest brother's personality is probably not willing to accept her kindness.
"Take it slow." Xue Mei gently stroked the cat's back.
The cat meowed.
The sound was a little soft, as if begging for mercy.
But it was too noisy around, so Xue Mei didn't hear it.
Then, a young lady from the Wen family came over and greeted Xue Mei. They were both Wen Zhao's sisters, and one of them should be a mother, who was equally unpretentious.
"Sister Mei." This extremely beautiful girl is named Wen Jin, who is Wen Zhao's biological sister, two years younger than him.
Like her mother and brother, Miss Wen Jin is not very smart. She looks like a fairy and can charm all living beings with every frown and smile. However, she has a good personality.
"...Sister Mei, your cat is so beautiful. Can you give me a hug?" Wen Jin asked.
Xue Mei: "It can tamper people."
"The cat is still scratching people?" Wen Jin was surprised, "Sister Mei, did you hit it? Last time I went to Princess Baoqing's mansion, the cat in her house also scratched people, and was chopped off by Princess Baoqing."
Xue Mei: "..."
The Wen brothers and sisters never know what to say or what not to say.
Therefore, do bad things, don’t do them in front of people like this who don’t turn around.
Xue Mei covered A Chou's ears, afraid that A Chou would be afraid to hear it: "I won't hit it or chop its claws, I will try to get better."
Wen Jin was confused: "Get better?"
"Yes. In this way, even if I raise a playboy, no one else dares to say anything. He also praises it for being cute against his will." Xue Mei said.
The logic here may have to turn a corner, so a moment of blankness appeared on Miss Wen Jin's extraordinary cheek.
Xue Mei thought that if she was a man, such a beautiful beauties would definitely be willing to collect them. Like her brother, she looked dull and didn't look stupid, but instead made people feel innocent and innocent.
But the cat glanced at Xue Mei.
He sighed in his heart, knowing that Xue Mei loved him.
Unfortunately, he can't do anything.
"Sister Mei, the prince said you sold the abacus to him. Really?" Wen Jin found that he couldn't understand Xue Mei's words, so he quickly found a new topic.
Xue Mei nodded.
Wen Jin: "So amazing. My mother asked me to learn, but unfortunately I can't learn it."
"It doesn't matter, many people can't learn it." Xue Mei said.
Wen Jin was overjoyed: "I want to tell my mother this, otherwise she would scold me for being stupid all day long."
Xue Mei smiled.
Wen Jin is innocent and has no evil thoughts in her heart. Of course, she can't hold any bad ideas with such a brain.
Later, Wen Zhao and his grandchildren came to pay their birthday to their ancestors.
Seeing the wound on his face, the old lady was shocked: "Where did it?"
Wen Zhao: "The grandson blocked the evildoers, and he was hurt..."
He told the old lady what Xue Mei said.
Others praised the eldest son for being so amazing.
After hearing this, Wen Zhao was very proud and even glanced at Xue Mei.
The old lady looked speechless.
Only Wen Zhao's sister Wen Jin doesn't understand human nature and is as good as Wen Zhao: "Brother, your injury doesn't seem to be hurt by iron claws, but like a cat."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Wen Zhao was so angry that he wanted to beat someone.
Xue Mei lowered her head and covered up the smile on the corner of her lips.
It would be fun if the Wen brothers and sisters didn't mind their double commerce that was inferior to ordinary people. After all, they were beautiful and beauties could always get extra tolerance.
After the banquet, everyone in the Xue family wanted to go home.
Old Mrs. Wen personally sent Xue Mei to the gate, grabbed her hand, and said repeatedly: "Good child, always walk with your sister Jin'er, don't be stuck at home."
Xue Mei glanced at the old man.
When he looked at each other, Xue Mei was sure that the old man knew her thoughts and knew that she wanted to quit the marriage.
This ancestor made great contributions to the Wen family's great fortune today.
It’s a pity that the ancestors will leave one day, and the one who manages the family will be the eldest wife…
Xue Mei thought about the eldest wife and felt that the Wen family would not need three generations. If they could be richer than this generation, they would be considered as the ancestral tomb smoke coming out.
"Yes, old lady." Xue Mei smiled with a smile, her words were gentle, and she was elegant and quiet like a lady from a wealthy family.
The old lady squeezed her hand again.
After saying goodbye to the Wen family, Xue Mei got on the carriage of the Yongning Hou Mansion and returned home.
"Big sister, Jin'er is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the second sister." On the way, the third sister Xue Xi chatted with Xue Mei.
Xue Mei nodded.
Beauties are different. According to Xue Mei's aesthetic, she is more attractive to the Wen brothers and sisters.
Xue Yutan is also very beautiful, but the ends of her eyes are slightly raised, which is very beautiful. If she had plump lips, her sassy aura would give her points, but unfortunately her lips were slightly thin, which made her look fierce when she was angry.
If you cannot hide the evil appearance, you cannot attract favorable feelings. Unlike the Wen brothers and sisters, you should be angry and angry, and they are all so beautiful that they are thrilling.
She and her third sister chatted all the way, and the third wife was silent and returned home.
The midsummer is getting hotter day by day.
Because there is no modern steel and cement, the urban heat wave will dissipate at night and will not be difficult to bear.
There is a little coolness in the night wind.
There were ice cellars in ancient times, but there was no such era because productivity could not keep up.
Xue Mei plans to get one by herself in the future.
She went out that day, and Dai's mother felt a little uncomfortable again. Cai Yuan was busy and Hongluan was playing crazy. She didn't put down the window until dusk.
This leads to the fact that Xue Mei’s tent has a lot of mosquitoes at night.
She beat Caiyuan, Xiuzhu, and Hongluan also helped drive away, but there were still many.
"What do you use to repel mosquitoes?" Xue Mei asked.
Cai Yuan: "Use mugwort. But mugwort is hard to find. Even if there is one in the house, I'm afraid it won't be used for us."
Xue Mei: "..."
Mugwort is not mass-produced, but wild, and it is indeed not available to everyone.
Xue Mei knew that the "paper-entangled fragrance" of the Song Dynasty was the ancient mosquito coil. It was made of dry duckweed and realgar, and wrapped with paper.
It probably doesn't smell very good.
